Sessions at FP Days 2013 about Erlang in Business

Friday 25th October 2013

Erlang was designed around a set of requirements for telecom systems from the Old World. They were distributed, massively concurrent systems which had to scale with demand, be capable of handling massive peak loads and never fail. These are same problems we are facing today. This talk will describe how Erlang was developed as a language and system to solve them, as the challenges we had in telecoms back then evolved to the challenges we are facing in the Cloud today.
